I went to Reddit today... (beehaw.org)

And saw a bunch of posts about the third party apps closing down, and lots of negativity about that whole fiasco.

... And I realized I hadn't been there for a week... And frankly didn't miss it. I am really loving the beehaw (and Lemmy as a whole) community. Thanks for being open, welcoming, responsive, engaging, and just generally nice people. I'm happy to be here. :)

R/all and the default subs have been trash for years, but it was still possible to have a decent experience on Reddit after curating your subscriptions to your own interests, and using 3rd party apps. I'm slowly moving my browsing over to here especially given the recent news, but it is difficult to give up the niche subreddits I enjoy that don't yet have comparable communities here.

3rd party filter options and Reddit enhancement is incredibly useful and what made it so preferable over all the social media options with the power it gave to curate instead of having to rely on an algorithm.

I hope lemmy gets those type of third party apps and tools to make it possible.
